QWhat information is needed for a BaZi reading?

You need your birth year, month, day, and hour. The birth hour determines the Hour Pillar, a critical component of the chart. If you're unsure of the exact birth hour, you can still get a reading with just the date, though precision will be somewhat reduced.

QWhy does true solar time matter?

BaZi uses the Hour Pillar to determine chart structure. True solar time adjusts for your birth longitude, ensuring the Hour Pillar is accurate rather than relying on standard timezone. Tideris automatically applies true solar time correction.

QHow do I read Five Elements preferences?

Your favorable elements depend on whether your Day Master is strong or weak. A strong Day Master benefits from controlling/draining elements; a weak one needs support. The detailed reading explains your specific Five Elements balance and practical life suggestions.

QHow is BaZi different from other tools?

BaZi reveals your overall life blueprint — personality, fortune trends, and life stages — based on fixed birth data. Liuyao answers specific event questions, Qimen analyzes timing and strategy, Synastry compares two people's compatibility. They complement each other.

QHow is AI interpretation different from traditional charting?

The charting process (Four Pillars arrangement, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Ten Gods determination) is algorithmic and follows traditional rules exactly. The interpretation is generated by AI, explaining what each combination means in everyday language. Best used as a self-understanding reference; for major decisions, always combine with real-world judgment.
